Default Does anyone own a 1970-1982 RR on here?

Looking to see if theres anyone on here who owns a Real Range Rover -2door model 1970-1994
Not a luxo barge sure their pretty but can they crank start the engine when the battery is flat? I d hate to hose out the interior on the new ones might write the truck off! or try to fix it myself lol

Ok im done just kidding around I love the look of the new one and in a few years I will certainly own one once the price drops on the used 04s and I get the rover tool for my laptop

Just seeing if there are other old RRovers around

I used to have a '72 or '75. It bugs me I can't remember exactly anymore... my grandfather gave me that old beast and I really do wish I had never sold it.

Do year do you have? The pre-1995's seem to be pretty rare now (or people just don't drive them at all anymore).

Hi every one i am in process of restoring a 1979 two classic in the uk , i had it nearly two years now , i hardest part has been sourcing parts but slowly but surely we are getting there .i will be post some photos up if you do want to all the photos and i have i page on my facebook sight with nearly 120 photos which show the axles taken off and cleaned all the rust before i started on it ,and all the panels i have replaced , any one thinking of doing this here is warning I AM SINGLE I WOULD RECOMEND YOU THINK LONG AND HARD ABOUT RESTORING , What looks a good project on the out side can turn into a nightmare ,and be expensive if cannot weld ,i would say at 65% of the inner core of my classic has been replaced , two new door posts two new bulkhead panels , two new wing assembles , new out sills , then there is the chassy i dont know if new this but Discovery 200 and 300 series are on a rrc chassy ,

I have an 1984 2 door, 5speed. I have had a hard time finding parts for the interior, speedo gear, etc. . . Can anyone tell me where to find parts.The car runs great, just put two new weber carbs on it. I am getting ready to have the seats redone. I don't know too much about these vehicles I have had for a while and it is a grey market car.
